We were able to obtain copies of some recent Supreme Court arguments. You will need Quicktime
to view them. Let us know if you like this service. We can only
convert those we receive. So if you have a case on disk or videotape,
let us know. We can then convert it to streaming video on the web, and
you can then link to your own argument from your own web site.
Some
that we would like to post are civil cases addressing the lost chance
doctrine in med mal case and the statute of frauds argument involving
Melbourne Mills.
Check these out from December 10, 2008.
